Everyone prefers to live life their own way. Consciously or unconsciously, you and I constantly make lifestyle choices, for example in the field of nutrition, living, learning, exercise, work, relaxation, etc. In some of these areas you have probably at one time thought: “Huh? Couldn't this be done differently?" or "This topic interests me, but I'm not sure why." You may already have an idea what you want to realise. If you sign up for the Minor Designing Lifestyles, you can bring your lifestyle idea to the world!
